The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Life

Photo Outtakes of 2017 

04/12/2017

I’m all about sharing the good, the bad and the ugly on The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle – and we all know from the masses of other fashion bloggers on the internet that everyone takes hundreds upon hundreds of photos for outfits we feature in our posts (I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve read or heard this on the internet).
But what you might not know, is that not all fashion bloggers work in this way. We don’t all go out for shoots to feature outfits in posts which are totally irrelevant to what we’re writing about (I don’t know why, but this really gets my goat – I like my pictures to be relevant to what I’m writing about). We don’t all obsess over not getting the right shot, or getting multiple angles of the same outfit – some just point, shoot and go with what they’ve got.
I obviously try to pick my best shots (because deep down, I’m a vain bitch) but always make sure to keep the shit ones – I like to remind myself that I’m not on point all the time and I don’t give a shit.
So for fun, I decided to round up some horrific but amusing shots of me where I haven’t been showcasing my fabulousness all in the name of giving everyone a laugh and being honest with you all.
I normally tend to upload just one outfit picture on Instagram from a few shots – so you may well recognise a lot of the outfits shown in this post if you’ve been a follower of mine throughout the year.
So without further ado, here are some of the gems I found;
The vacant look is one I’ve got nailed – stare into space and hope for the best.
I’ve found that looking away from the camera can go very wrong and to ready myself for a morning OOTD shot, I’m better after having a warm up of stupid faces 😉
I also find camera angles can make or break a shot – too low down and my chin looks like it’s making its way to heaven, too high and I look like I’m a foot shorter. Also, can we just take a moment to admire the face I’m pulling in photo 3 above – you’re welcome internet.
I like to give Aaron a bit of a laugh during our quick shoots whilst I walk out of our block of flats – he’s not the most patient photographer so I need to keep him amused by squishing the tits together once in a while.
Again, some more very unattractive angles give for good laughs – I’ve also established I’m not that great at frontal selfies.
Some more vacant looks away from the camera. I guess what I’m trying to get across in this post is that we shouldn’t just showcase the best of us all the time – it’s healthy to be honest, put your hands up and say you’re not always the most photogenic person. I sure as hell am not – we’ve seen that here today!
Everyone is going to have a stash of these somewhere (I think?!) and I’d love it if I could encourage us all to make some fun out of ourselves once in a while!
Let me know which is your favourite shot in the comments below (my personal fave is me sitting on my bed in my denim jacket looking murderous AF).

Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
